Petra Tour: Siq al-Barid - Little Petra
Deep canyon with remarkable rock-cut buildings and unique murals, which was part of an important Nabataean trading base, 6 km north of the centre of Petra.

At the end of Siq al-Barid a narrow and very steep staircase leads up. Since the steps are extremely weathered, you need sturdy shoes with grippy soles for the ascent.
At the top, Bedouins sell souvenirs and offer tea. You can continue from there to other places - more about this on the last page of this photo tour.
